another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

Hey. You like sports right? You like making sportsman picks and competing against others with heavily punny or topical team names to see who does the best? Looking for a new challenge or an excuse to watch racin'? Boy, do I have something for you and I should've advertised it at this time last year instead of midseason:

SAS has two Fantasy Auto Racing leagues, one for NASCAR and one for IndyCar. If you want to get in on the fun, you're in luck because the NASCAR league holds 50 and we're only half-full right now! Details on how to play and login information are available below.

NASCAR (SASCAR 2016, Yahoo)

http://racing.fantasysports.yahoo.com/auto/
Group: 3147
PW: derrike

SAS' official NASCAR fantasy league is SASCAR 2016, started by Kidcoelacanth and residing on Yahoo Fantasy. As of the writing of this OP, there are 25 spots left. (This is NOT NASCAR Bingo. For that, go to the thread in SAS.)

Format:
There's no draft- all drivers are available to players each week, but each driver can only be started nine (9) times per season. Drivers are grouped into three "lists": A (top drivers), B (mid-pack and some higher tier backmarkers), and C (Danica Patrick, also-rans, and one-off/rookies).

Each week, one starter and one bench driver will be chosen from the A and C lists, while two of each will come from the B list. Points are awarded for finishing position, with bonus points for qualifying in the Top 4 and for laps led. Bench drivers aren't totally useless, gaining bonus points if they qualify in the Top 4.

Drivers for each week must be chosen by (I believe) 5AM Friday morning. Your starting lineup must be set by the time of the green flag.

Schedule:
The season is broken into three segments: Spring, Summer, and Playoffs (The CHASE). There are winners for each segment, as well as the overall season.

We haven't done prizes in a while, but Some Random rear end in a top hat hooked the top three up with race-used sheet metal one year, which was really cool.

Stat sorting criteria:
This Season/Last Season/Last Month- Performance stats on all tracks in those periods.
This Race- Spring/Fall race on each track. (Some tracks only have one race a year. Most have two, often referred to as "Spring" and "Fall" regardless of the calendar month in which they fall. (Both Pocono races take place in what we'd consider "Summer" months, June and July. The "Fall Pocono" race is in July.). Other use of this statistic is when it comes to day or night races: the Spring Daytona, Richmond, and Bristol races are day races, while the Fall races are at night. The opposite is true for Texas and Kansas.
This Track- Track performance in the last five years' worth of races.

Non-self-explanatory stat categories:
-Races- Number of races this season or races run in the last 10 races on this track
-Poles- First place starting positions, useful for max bonus points.
-Best- Best finish this season/on this track in the last 10 races

#IndyRivals Fantasy Challenge (Formula Juan and Derps, IndyCar.com)

http://fantasy.indycar.com/leagues/join
PW: LLJK

Back for a second year is the Verizon IndyCar Series' official Fantasy game. Not sure how many will be signed up this year, but there were 18 players registered last year and only half remembered to play regularly.

Unlike the NASCAR game, this is a spending-based system. You have $100 to spend on four drivers for each race. There's no limit to the number of times you can use each driver, but their dollar values will increase or decrease depending on their performance.

Stat information is limited to Wins, Top 5s, and Top 10s. This league also uses a tiebreaker system based upon your guess of the average speed of each race.
